FIVE STAR

No not a blog about the wonderful eighties band that gives us such classics as Rain or Shine or RSVP, though I'm sure if that was what you were actually looking for you'll find them somewhere.
This is more a nod to the five best value bets out there today, I'm not recommending put them all on an accumulator as not even Nostradamus or Mark Lawrenson could tell you who would win five games, but just a heads up to some real value and double and treble chances.

1: CHAMPIONSHIP: COLCHESTER 2.25 TO BEAT WOLVES AT HOME.

If you look at the table this is seventh v ninth and there is little to seperate these two sides. However there are two key reasons why Colchester are stand-out value here, for me. There home record this season is better than any other side, with ten wins. Bookies are taking the chance because they think Colchester can't last the pace, but there is no reason why they can't. They are well organized side with a great goal threat in Cureton and Iwuelmo.
Wolves for their part are hit and miss, last time they were a big hit winning at Derby, but question marks remain over their consistency and with injuries to key defender Joey Craddock and on form winger Kightly, as well as forward Jay Boothroyd, this could be one of their miss performances. At 2.25 it's a risk worth taking.

2: SUNDERLAND 2.25 TO BEAT PRESTON AT HOME

Although Sunderland nine places behind Preston they make good sense at 2.25, there home form in recent weeks has been very impressive and the crowds are coming back in response. Their is a real buzz around the club with the way Keane and Quinn have transformed the place and although a work in progress, progress is certainly been made. Preston for their part have a poor away record and not the greatest of recent form. Injuries and illness may leave them very short up front and in recent away games they have been leaking goals, this all adds up t a decent value hom at 2.25.

3: HARTLEPOOL 2.0 AT HOME TO PETERBOROUGH

It is still 2.0 at Stan James but get on quick going down across the boards, Hartlepool are on form and firing in goals, Peterborough are stuttering, big price for a home win.

4: SWINDON 1.85 AT HOME TO NOTTS COUNTY
I don't usually go this low, 1.85 though for a Swindon side revitalised under Paul Sturrock against a woefully off form Notts County is great value.

5: STIRLING AWAY 1.71 TO STRANRAER
Stirling have no defeats in eight, stranraer one win in eight, a nice little coupon addition.

GDLUCK everyone.
